  13. To quote Mr.Boyd Ducketts March 9th 2011 Bassmaster article on Vandam winning the classic I believe it's confidence. In fact, here's how I would break down the critical elements of tournament success: 10 percent ability 30 percent preparation 60 percent confidence That's my theory. I should point out that even though confidence is the dominant driver of success, preparation is one of the keys to gaining confidence. I met Bobby Knight a few years, and he told me one of the most profound things I've ever heard. He said, "Your desire to win can never be greater than your desire to prepare. You have to want it 24/7, not just on game day." But the bottom line on tournament day is not whether you've prepared; it's whether that preparation has helped give you the confidence you need to winarticle in Bassmaster,,,,
  14. Niceee ride....And great to see a young man into a great sport like Bass fishng
  15. LOL....Wowwwwww....Well if so called "useless knowledge" inspires confidence then terrific........And IMO he will be a wiser fisherman from wanting to gain as much knowledge as he can about a product .....
  16. X2 .....Love my Pop-Rs
  17. Knowledge is key...Good post !!!
  18. So nice these days to see a company that stands behind there product and really take care of there customers...I had a simliar exp with St.Croix last year withone of my Avids....They treated me like i was there only customer....And in turn they earned a customer for life.....
  19. I have 3 Avids...Love them...I have Johnny Morris Sig Series reels on all of them....Great set-up.... Congrats on the new rod....P.S. Dont forget to warranty register it on-line
  20. Fish all over...Arrowhead...Thomas...Lil Sebago...Webber....I have a back seat open at times....Maybe keep in touch and do some fishing...
  21. Fish in the crystal clear waters of Maine...Have used 14lb Fireline Crystal for years and now also using the Braid....Casts very well very sensitive...Hey if it works why switch right ????....I also would have to add that any line will feel different casting and sensitivity wise depending on what you are throwing on....Confidence and knowledge is what catches bass,,,,Not the rod,,reel or line....Throw what you are confident in ...You wil catch more fish...
  22. Welcome....Fellow Mainer here....What lakes you usually fish....
  23. X2....Fishing Daddy said it all !!!!!
  24. I have 3 of them....Use them for T-Rigs and Spinnerbaits....Very capable rod....I have them paired with Johnny Morris reels....Great combo good balance
  25. Go with the Dobyns !!!!...Just got mine awesome rod....Compares very well with my St Croixs
